Baby Connell 2.4.13

We are so excited to finally announce that we're having a baby!!! We couldn't be happier!! Kasey is beyond thrilled! I am so excited to start our family! We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to bring this little baby into this world! Here's how we found out:

It was a Wednesday evening and I had just gotten home from work. I was 2 days late and had been having the thought for about a week that I was pregnant, but I thought I was crazy. (Come to find out, Kasey had been thinking the same thing for about a week!) When I got home that night, I went upstairs to change and figured I'd take a pregnancy test so I would stop thinking I was pregnant and I could get that off my mind. I took the test and it came back almost immediately and said pregnant on it! I covered my mouth and gasped! I yelled for Kasey to come upstairs and then met him halfway up the stairs because I couldn't wait for him to make it to our bathroom!! We hugged and kissed and celebrated the fact that WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!! After that, I ran to the grocery store to get more pregnancy tests just to confirm. After three more tests, we were positive that we were having a baby!! We sent a text and picture to our families letting them know our good news and have been starting to prepare for this little person to come into our lives. Our baby is due February 4, 2013, which is our anniversary! Pretty impressive timing if you ask me! This was the hardest secret I think I've ever had to keep! I just wanted to shout it from the rooftops that I am going to be a mom!! It is the most exciting/scariest time in my life!! I don't want to do anything to mess this up! So far we're right on track and our baby is growing right on schedule!

We are now taking guesses on if it's a boy or a girl. We should know August 25!!
